I love the TRU clearance price on Kreo.
Too bad the 50th Items were not on sale for the holiday weekend sales. I had hoped they had been. Wanting to catch a deal on the Silent Strike set.

I wanted to thank whoever bought all the three pack joes at the local TRU, but was kind enough to leave the Vanishing Act set (the one I was most looking for) behind for me.
I really like this set. I thought I would, but I was surprised at how good the Zartan looks and how much I like the upgrade for Torpedo, The only figure I am not too fond of is the Hit N Run.

OK, I had my earlier issue with two Rock Rampage sets I received not having the handles on the Shock Troopers' riot shields (a problem which was rectified for me by OreoBuilder, who I cannot thank enough for his generous aid).
Now today I opened up a Marine Devastation pack to find that the Shadow Guard figure's web gear is missing the scabbard on the back. Luckily I already have what I need for Marine Devastation sets and I was just going to sell the Gung Ho and keep the Shadow Guard just for the heck of it. Instead, that whole set is now going back to TRU as a return. It's going to be fun trying to explain the problem to the clerk on that one... Anyway, I will be opening my Vanishing Act set soon to make sure everything is OK there. So far I have had missing parts in 2/8 Rock Rampage sets and now 1/4 Marine Devastation sets. Overall a 25% defect rate, and that's not even accounting for sloppy paint apps. I am really starting to wish I had opened last year's 50th anniversary stuff while it was still in stores. I still have most of it sealed at this point. Was quality control this bad last year?

With last years stuff I never had problems with anything being missing, but the paint apps were pretty terrible on about half of the figures I got and several had elbow joints that were fused and wouldn't move. This year the paint apps have been pretty good on everything I have picked up, but several sets have come with the wrong figure bases or left out certain accessories. For me it feels like this years QC is worse because I have had more problems with these sets than last years overall. I wonder if the SDCC Crimson Scythe sets have had many problems?

I will say that many of the Dukes this year have paint that makes it look like they have all been chowing down on powdered doughnuts. |

Mine had a vertical stabilizer that was painted on only one side. Annoying, but not worth the hassle of paying for shipping to return it and hope the next one didn't have the same, or worse, problem.

That would be annoying. You would think for what they charged for that set at least it would get better QC than the regular retail releases. Does the canopy on the Crimson Scythe have the latching tab missing the way the Silent Strike Skystriker does?
